The look that Lia gave me when she opened the door was a mixture of happiness and loss. I could tell that she was hurting at the thought of me leaving because I was a new sister to her but I could see that she was happy that I was having this opportunity. I hadn't known her for very long, but I knew that I would miss her and Alice more than anything.

I could hear the door opening and two people talking while I finished rounding up my outfits into my suitcase and standing on the top so that I would be able to close it fully. Alice walked up behind Lia and we shared a moment with each other because we didn't know when we would see each other again.
Lia put both hands on each of my shoulders and look at me.
"Have fun, won't you" she said.
"I will, I'll be coming back soon" I reassured her.
"You have our number so if you ever need us then please don't hesitate to text or call us" Alice urged.
"I will, don't worry" I smiled.
Tears started to well up in my eyes and we gathered in for a final group hug before I picked up my bloated suitcase and rolled it out of my bedroom door before carrying down the marble stairs, trying not to slip and fall. Reaching the floor, I held my suitcase behind me and approached the door where my adopted father was talking to the bus driver, I assume to try and figure out where I was going and on which days which was no surprise.

I stepped in the centre of the door frame and looked out at the bus that awaited my arrival. The boys called this bus 'Batman' on twitter and I knew from finding out about the name that it was Corbyns idea.
I was wearing a grey Why Don't We hoodie and the band dog tag with black ripped jeans and Adidas Superstar shoes knowing that we would be on the road for a long time, but I didn't mind that because it meant that I could have more catch-up time with my favourite boys.
Standing in awe at the bus, the boys walked from behind the bus and at the sight of me, ran towards me in happiness at the whole situation. More hugs were shared and I had the biggest smile on my face, nobody has ever made me feel this happy.. ever.

When we let go, they stood in front of me.
"You ready?" Corbyn asked me.
"Ready as I'll ever be" I smiled at them.

Jonah voluntarily took the suitcase from me and brought it from the front of the house over to the storage area of the bus ; we followed behind him and got on the silver and black luxury bus.

Walking through the aisle of the bus was a damn experience. Lights across the floor and ceiling, mini fridges, bunk beds, chairs, radios, you name it and the bus had it. It was a literal party bus.
"So Y/N, welcome to Casa del batman" Corbyn laughed.
I turned around to the boys behind me.
"You boys really do like going extra with everything you do, don't you?"
"Oh we really do" Zach answered with a small laugh at the end of his sentence.
I walked up and down the bus while the guys went to the chairs at the back of the bus and heading straight onto their phones, typical.

As I had my back turned to them, Daniel held up his phone and began to record me looking around the bus.
"So what do you think Y/N?" He said into his phone.
"It's incredible!" I shouted to him from the other side of the bus.
I could hear Daniel behind me talking to the boys straight after and when I looked around, he had his phone on Jack and Jack was talking into the camera.
"We can't wait for tour you guys so go buy tickets if you haven't already!" Jack grinned.
Daniel panned the phone over to Corbyn.
"Come and see us on tour by swiping up to see if we are coming into your city!"
Daniel then put his phone down and began to talk to himself.
"Band account, add story, send" he said.

"GUYS!" I shouted as I turned back around to them and they tilted their heads upwards.
"So.. where are we going?"
"San Fransisco is our next stop"
"I've always wanted to go there!" I expressed.
"Well now you are!" Zach laughed.

Eben, their producer, and August, their photographer, eventually got onto the bus and immediately went towards the seats where the rest of the boys were sat. I climbed onto the highest bunk and held my phone above my face, reading my DMs etc and replying to a few.
Jonah leaned against the bunk block opposite mine and looked me.
"I take it you've already claimed the top bunk" he grinned.
"Oh you betcha" I giggled at him.

I heard the bus doors open suddenly.
"So, whose ready for a tour?"
A deep voice said at the front of the bus.
"Ready as we'll ever be, Bill" Jonah said.
Bill? Who's Bill?
I tilted my head out of my bunk, trying to see who it was without falling out of my bunk at the same time.
I saw a man clamber into the drivers seat.
"Bill is our driver, he will be taking us to our venues" Jack explained.
"Oh okay, that makes sense" I said as I swung my head back into my bunk.
The bus began to shake and I could hear the bus doors closing.

Bring it on, America.
